Arii 2 : It's Almost 5 a.m.
11 February 2009

The phone rings persistently. No one calls late this night. It’s almost 5a.m.. Grudgingly; Aari look at the phone for caller I.D. before answering.

Aara silently speaks, “Hey, did I wake you up?”

“Yea, you kind of did,” she groggily replies.

“I’m sorry. I just got home from a night out. Your latest letter worries me. Are you sure you are fine, literally fine, not metaphorically?”

Arii smiles before she answers, “I am surviving - nothing out of ordinary in this situation. I just wish you are here. I could do with a hug and a shoulder to lean on. I’m opting for a silent communion though. Not a talkative one.”

Aara sensed her deep pain and wished he could just give her what she needs instead of giving her a call. Even this call was unexpected of him. It feels like a betrayal to his better judgment.

For long there was just silence between the two phones. This is how they usually are – an understanding bond of respect and comfortable companion. Ever since the beginning, he was drawn to her charming, witty and insightful observation of life - the way she could laugh even when things are so tough and the way she could pull herself together even when life presents the hardest test. Just then her sigh snaps him out of his own thinking.

“I’m glad you called Aara. I really am glad.”

He couldn’t find the right words to comfort her. All he could say was, “Things would be better soon. You are strong enough to know the right decision.”

All his bluntness and honesty flew out the window listening to her resignation towards life. Both of them knew that the best answer lies in the words of leave, but both of them knew she has no courage to do so just yet. He feels helpless as she starts tearing and he stayed with her till her sobs stopped and he hears her even breathing signaling she has cried herself to sleep again. He wishes karma would be fair to her soon.

In her dream, Arii feels a strong hand guide her to calmness and she knows Aara is by her side, just as she wished. And she drifts deeper into a contented sleep.
